Peanut's owner Mark Longo told NewsNation host Chris Cuomo that he is "appalled" that New York uses resources to kill a raccoon and squirrel.

A man who took in an orphaned squirrel and made it a social media star vowed Saturday that New York state’s decision to seize and euthanize the animal “won’t go unheard.”

The owners of Peanut the Squirrel have spoken out after the pet was seized and euthanized by authorities. Mark and Daniela Longo suspect someone jealous of their success may have called the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to have the animal removed from their sanctuary.

Even former President Donald Trump is going nuts over the senseless killing of P’nut. “I know Don’s fired up about P’nut the squirrel,” Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, told supporters Sunday about the furry Internet sensation euthanized last week by New York state officials.
